    One of the most well constructed videos I've ever seen. Content, editing, pauses, narrative, overlays, history, music, humor combine for a delightful watch.

    I did this with my Dad when I was a teenager. We had a friend of my Dad's who wanted wood shingles on his barn roof and he owned several hundred acres of a creek bottom loaded with nice White Oak trees. My Dad showed me how to pick out only the best straight grained White Oaks for this job. We cut all the trees into bolts and stacked them until they were nice and dry. That fall we rived the shingles out of those nicely dried bolts. It was quite the project and learning experience. The rancher was happy and he paid us well.

      I wish you could teach me how! I know I can teach myself n learn s as I go. But thinkit’d sure shorten the learning curve quite a bit to work with someone who knew what they were doing a day or two.😂

    Awesome video series on building you log chicken house with shakes roof! Can't wait to see her finished. Thanks for the videos! My beautiful wife and I just moved to a 100 acre wooded farm in Western Kentucky very close to where I was born and raised. We're loving here on our farm. We got 12 chickens and enjoying getting ready to plant our garden. We also have beehives and looking to increase our hives this year. Your channel sends me back to me childhood where both my parents and grandparents came from the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm enjoying learning from you! Thank you again for your channel and videos

    Try and fit shakes flat from the rear as the frontblast longer by far split not chopped !
    Try using a tire tube a couple times around a round then split with a fro in place chestnut works well too !

  • @wammyz
    @wammyz 6 років тому +4

    Made the start of my year better! Good to see you are still at it, and judging from the piles of shakes it's why the length of time between videos was a little longer. Thanks!

    I'm making my daughter a tree house. 8 foot by 9 foot. Using stomps and logs. I have a huge down tree. And thought, house did they make wood shingles in the ol days. I like your work area, with the Y tree and the 3 stumps under it. Thanks for sharing. I'm an expert now. Or at least have enough courage to try. Thanks for the amazing video nicely done. Truly inspired thank you.

    Yay! I can't wait to see the shingles go up! I made a second chicken run for a second flock of laying hens. It took me a while to do, the fencing and all. I also renovated a little coop my son and I made together. In the future, I can also use the newer coop/run to raise meat birds. Now all I need is a Pa Mac video on how to butcher a chicken. I'd also love to see you fashion a right nifty chicken plucker!

    Really enjoy your videos... A note on the froe, from what I learned in the past and my own experience a bit... If you have a split that is feeling imbalanced and one side is running off and getting thin, if you work your levering into the fatter side it may very well bring the split a bit more into balance and save the thin bit. You can spin it around and push into the thickness, rather then committing the split against the thin... Hoping that description makes sense...
